Description

The p-tert-butyl calix[4]arene thiophenol derivative was successfully synthesized with reflux condition and was characterized by FT-IR and 1H-NMR. This work mainly adopted the method of controlling variables. The results showed that the optimum pH value, temperature and extraction time were respectively 4.5, 25 °C and 90 min. By calculating the data of the enthalpy change and gibbs free energy, indicating that the process of reaction was an exothermic and spontaneous process, and it demonstrated a close agreement with pseudo-second-order kinetic model. It is also found that the coexisting cations on the extraction of uranium had greater influence. (author)
